How to Cook Cheesy Hot Dog Lumpia
Lumpia is a popular Filipino snack made with a thin, crepe-like wrapper. It is also known as a spring roll, and it can be served as a hot appetizer or a main dish. Typically, this dish is filled with meat, seafood, and/or vegetables.
In this twist on a beloved classic, I've prepared lumpia with a filling of cheesy hot dogs.

AUTHORHi Pamela,
It was actually my first time to try this snack. I must say that I really like it. The crunchiness of the outside texture plus the softness of the inside made the entire dish perfect.
I have never had this snack, but it looks very good to me. I think my husband would really love it. Thank you.
